1. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “ small talk ”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries------like the UK or France 2.
Talks and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; 3. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; 4. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, 5. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
A. and sometimes these values are quite against each other.
B. Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.
C. people from both nations keep the rule that work comes first.
D. instead there was an uncomfortable silence.
E. however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.
F. people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
G. It is quite a common case to meet people from different cultures.
Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by CornellUniversity suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.
1.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?
A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C. They regard eating as a key part of their life style.
D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
2.This text is mainly about the relationship between _________.
A. Americans and the French
B. life style and obesity
C. children and adults
D. fast food and overweight
3.This text is mainly developed __________.
A. by contrast B. by space
C. by process D. by classification
4. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A TV interview B. A food advertisement
C. A health report D. A book review
